Agreement

Housing and caring for the animal in an appropriate manner, reinforcing manners, working with problem areas, feeding appropriately and housing indoors only.
Ideally you will care for the animal until it finds its forever home, but if it doesn’t work out you must contact Mobile Mutts Rescue and allow a reasonable time frame (up to 2 weeks) to find another foster home for the animal. This is crucial to all involved.
When your foster animal is due for vetting, you must be able to bring them to one of our approved Vet clinics. You are usually able to make your own vet appointments at your convenience as long as it’s within a week’s time frame that the animal is due for shots, sterilization, etc. We will notify you of any vetting needed.
Any animal that is brought outside is to be on leash at all times unless in fenced in area. You are 100% financially responsible for any preventable medical expenses while the foster pet is in your care. This includes any decisions you make to leave the pet at a friend’s house for the day, or while on vacation. If anything happens to the foster pet or person while being watched out of your care, you will also be 100% financially responsible. Please use common sense and if you have any questions on what is acceptable or not contact a Mobile Mutts Rescue representative.
If you plan a vacation or a weekend getaway, you are responsible for finding a pet-sitter for the time you are gone. We can always try to help you find someone, but we can’t guarantee we will be able to. Summer weekends are very busy for everyone so please plan accordingly and know that when you commit to fostering, you commit to the responsibilities as if the foster pet were your own. If you leave the pet with someone, please give them all of our contact information while you are gone, and please notify us of the arrangements being made prior to your departure.
If your foster pet runs away and is found in an animal control facility, there will be a “pull fee” and you will be responsible for paying this fee.
When a screened adopter is interested in meeting your foster pet, we will then set up a meet and greet. You are required to be present during this time as you know the pet better than anyone and your input is invaluable.
If you feel your foster pet(s) need(s) immediate medical attention, you MUST get prior approval from Mobile Mutts Rescue. We will not reimburse if you choose to seek medical attention without first contacting us. We have relationships with numerous clinics and will most likely be able to refer you to one of them.
Administering any medications as directed from our veterinarian.
All home visits must go through Mobile Mutts Rescue and we will supply you with a home visit check sheet.
I understand that the animals that come into the rescue may not have yet been vetted, and Mobile Mutts Rescue is in no way liable for any animals other than the foster pet if they become sick.
I understand that the animals that I foster are not allowed to go to off leash dog parks unless they remain on a leash at all times and will not be out of my control.
I understand that Mobile Mutts Rescue wants to use social media to try to get my foster pet adopted. I will not post any of my foster pets on Craigslist and any ads will be done strictly through the Mobile Mutts Rescue Coordinator.
If you decide that you want to participate in our “Foster to Adopt” program, you can plan on
adopting the animal but can’t initially adopt until the animal is completely vetted through Mobile Mutts Rescue. We give you the first 10 days to decide if this specific pet is right for you and your family. After that, if you are unsure or know that it’s not the right fit, we will then list the pet on our website, and continue the search for their forever home. In the meantime you agree to foster the animal until we can find their new forever home. We know you are anxious at finding the perfect pet for your family, but just remember that fostering can take anywhere from 2 weeks to months. There is no simple way to determine how long it will take any one animal to find a new home. Either way, fostering or adopting, you are saving an animal and giving them a whole new quality of life.
There have been no other representations or promises other than those included in this volunteer agreement.
I understand that this is at my own risk and I hereby forever release, discharge and agree to hold harmless and indemnify Mobile Mutts Rescue from all claims, demands, actions, causes of action or liability of any kind whatsoever arising as a result of doing volunteer work with Mobile Mutts Rescue.
I further agree that I will not make any claim against, sue, attack the property of, or prosecute Mobile Mutts Rescue (or any of its board members/volunteers) for any death, personal injury or property damage, whatever the cause or place of event giving rise to the claim, which I may suffer or sustain as a result of or in connection with my participation as a volunteer.
I further understand that the behavior of domestic animals is sometimes unpredictable and that some domestic animals are capable of inflicting serious personal injury or death, as well as extensive property damage. Knowing the risks of handling domestic animals, nevertheless, I hereby agree to assume those risks and to release, indemnify and hold harmless Mobile Mutts Rescue and its members/volunteers who might otherwise be liable to me or my heirs or assigns for damages.
My participation with Mobile Mutts Rescue is strictly on a voluntary basis, therefore no insurance against bodily harm is provided for me.
I agree to cooperate with Mobile Mutts Rescue and its volunteers to coordinate arrangements for adoption days, vet appointments, and other necessary appointments.
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS AN INDEMNITY, WAIVER & RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND A CONTRACT BETWEEN MOBILE MUTTS RESCUE, AND I SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL.
